What difference does it make? Do we really need to spend good money on this. If people believe it’s real, fine. If they don’t fine.
Not my money.
One of the biggest enigmas of our age I’d say. Foundation for the miraculous and Christian belief system.
It is looking more and more like it is an authentic artifact from the time of Jesus’ death...with an inexplicable image embedded into it. That really shakes up the reality map of some people.
Yes I’d say it worth out time and investment without a doubt.
I don’t think taxpayers are paying for this.
But I’m happy to hear this. I’ll take any good news I can these days.
A relic isn’t everything, but neither is it nothing.
Personally, I’d like all the answers we can get, while we can still get them; before the muslims carbonize Turin, Rome, and all of Christian Europe.
who’s we? I didn’t know that you’d ponied up any money for this project.
Not your money jack. None of your business. Don’t waste our time eh!
I agree. I’m a believing Christian who’s always thought the Shroud of Turin is not important. It’s an historical fact that Jesus existed and was crucified, so we don’t need the Shroud to “prove” that. And, as for Jesus’ being the Son of God, and authentic Shroud of Turin doesn’t prove that anyway. When religious people tout the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, they risk undermining the faith (if the Shroud ends up being inauthentic). Leave it all up to scientists, if they even care.
To those with a prosaic view of the world few things are worth money. To those who wonder about things particularly unusual and possibly miraculouws ones many things are worth speanding money on.
